Overview
SIST EN 13274-5:2001 is a European Standard established by CEN that defines the methods of climatic conditioning tests for respiratory protective devices. This standard specifies the precise temperature, humidity, duration, and application methods used to simulate various climatic conditions during testing. The goal of this standard is to ensure that respiratory protective equipment performs reliably under a range of environmental stresses, such as extreme temperatures and humidity levels.
This standard is part of a series focusing on testing respiratory protective devices and supports essential requirements of relevant EU Directives. SIST EN 13274-5:2001 applies to full devices or components and is intended to supplement specific device standards by indicating the climatic test conditions necessary for certification and quality assurance.
Key Topics
- Climatic Conditioning Parameters: The standard prescribes the temperature range (from -30 °C to +70 °C) and relative humidity conditions (dry, ambient, wet) for testing.
- Durations and Cycles: Exposure times vary from 3 hours to 72 hours or more, depending on the test cycle, simulating real-life environmental stress.
- Temperature Control: Temperature changes between phases must be gradual, with a maximum gradient of 2 °C per minute, to prevent thermal shock.
- Test Setup: Specimens must be positioned to allow free air circulation without physical support from other objects, preserving integrity during conditioning.
- Manufacturer Specifications: The standard allows for customizations based on manufacturer-recommended temperatures and humidity levels.
- Normative References: EN 132 (Respiratory protective devices - Definitions of terms and pictograms) is referenced for terminology consistency.
- Compliance with EU Directives: The standard aligns with Directive 89/686/EEC essential safety requirements, supporting product certification in the European market.
Applications
SIST EN 13274-5:2001 is primarily applied in:
- Respiratory Protective Device Testing: Ensuring masks, respirators, and related components can withstand environmental extremes such as cold storage, hot climates, and high humidity.
- Quality Control: Verifying durability and functionality of protective breathing equipment before release and during production.
- Regulatory Certification: Assisting manufacturers in demonstrating conformity with EU safety regulations and directives for respiratory protective gear.
- Research and Development: Providing standardized conditions for testing new materials or designs intended for respiratory protection.
- Occupational Safety: Supporting industries such as firefighting, construction, and chemical manufacturing where respiratory protection is critical under variable climatic conditions.
